1 How holy is the Lord! how just!
How righteous all his Ways!
How nigh to him, who, with firm Trust,
For his Assistance prays!

2 He grants the full Desires of those,
Who him with Fear adore;
And will their Troubles soon compose,
When they his Aid implore.

3 His Mercy them supports that fall,
And makes the Prostrate rise:
For his kind Aid all Creatures call,
Who timely Food supplies.

4 Whate'er their various Wants require,
With open Hand he gives;
And so fulfils the just Desire
Of every Thing that lives.
